Jorge Miguel Flamenco Ensemble performing at the Grace Mennonite Church in Steinbach.
Steinbach Arts Council is proud to present the Jorge Miguel Flamenco Ensemble on Sunday, January 16, 7:30 pm at the Grace Mennonite Church, 430 3rd Street in Steinbach.
Jorge Miguel is a Spanish Canadian Flamenco guitarist and composer. FLAMENCO is the name of his new CD and show. Passionate, aggressive and percussive music, dance and song will take you on a journey to the contemporary Flamenco scene in Spain. Performers include Eliana Cuevas on vocals, Paul Donat on double bass, percussionists Daniel Stone and Luis Orbegoso, and Flamenco dancers Ilse Gudino and Catalina Fellay.
Jorge Miguel’s style of Flamenco is full contact, take no prisoners hard-core. This is the real thing. Jorge respects Flamenco’s roots and rules, the hundreds of years of development and growth passed down through generations. He was trained in the traditional way as is done in Flamenco circles, “face to face and hand to hand” sitting across from his “profesor”. This is the passion and pride of true Flamenco, percussive, aggressive and dissonant virtuosity are found in his Bulerias, Alegrias, Tangos, Farruca and Sevillanas (traditional Flamenco styles).
The band has toured extensively across Canada – among others at the Stewart Park Festival in Perth, British Columbia, at CNE Toronto, at the Sorauren Park Festival in Toronto, Ontario and at Contact East 2010 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
Tickets available at the SAC office – call 346-1077 for more information. This will be a night of true Flamenco – proud, complex & ageless.
